Recruitment

Recruitment Challenge

The number of active job seekers in the market has been rising. Each year there are new entrants from secondary school and university graduates as well as recently retrench workers added to the mix. While there is no shortage of labour, these occurrences make the process of hiring a new employee a difficult decision. The surplus of excess labour makes finding the right employee quite an overwhelming task. To find the “best fit” candidate a business must consider not only their educational background and experience but also whether or not the candidate will be the right fit for its existing company culture. Too many small businesses neglect these points to disastrous effects. Start-ups and SMBs are faced with considerable hiring challenges such as finding qualified applicants, offering competitive salary, lack of employment benefits and training which lead to high turnover and costly recruitment and retraining costs.

Client Testimonials

Atlantic Tours and Travel Limited

The team at FirstLink has always supported us from inception with our initial company registration providing practical and knowledgeable advice to guide us during the startup process. Fast forward to present – They provide us with both accounting and business advisory services. We feel comfortable and at peace knowing that we can call on Richard and his team at any time day or night to deal with any complex accounting, legal, human resource or business challenge that we’re going through.”

MARIA SEEGOBIN
DIRECTOR, COMMERCIAL - ATLANTIC TOURS & TRAVEL LIMITED

For us, what distinguishes FirstLink from the many accountants we’ve dealt with in the past is their adoption of modern technology to reduce the tedious and administrative processes and their focus on providing clients with not only accounting services but value added advisory and consulting services. As business owners, we’re not necessarily savvy in finance or legal, however, we can always depend on FirstLink for any issue we are facing. We feel like the relationship with FirstLink is more partners for life as oppose to just a client – accountant relationship.

HERO TRINIDAD

The team at FirstLink introduced our business to Xero accounting. It has given us a lot more control over our financial information and for non-accountants; it is extremely easy to use. The Xero Mobile App easily allows us to send invoices to our customers on the go and tracks when the invoices have been viewed by them. I would definitely recommend Xero and FirstLink to anyone looking to implement cloud software to gain real time financial information to improve their business.
